You've got 11 days until rapture - Page 5

Good question. The song never says where those men actually come from.

Once raptured, can one be de-raptured? Or is that like regaining virginity?

monster · 05-13-2011, 10:36 AM

Just for visial clarity, would the men be nekkid?

infinite monkey · 05-13-2011, 10:38 AM

I hope so. It's like two teams: shirts and skins. Only it's heavenly robes and skins.

monster · 05-13-2011, 10:43 AM

then will they be preselected? 'Cause that guy from Walmart -I'd rather be raptured than see his sweaty balls and wiggly worm followed by his marshmallow stackin-rings stomach hurtling towards me...

When the Weather Girls sang It's Raining Men I doubt those are the kinds of men they visualized.

But they exist, dammit!

Now I'm thinking the rapture isn't really going to be awesome at all.

IM - when I read that about the raining men vs. the rapturing folks - I LOL'd pretty loud. Like a loud, barky laugh. It's pretty fucking funny.

Inspiration: driving home listening to Fly 92.9 (they play ANYTHING) and they played Raining Men, and I started thinking about the rapture thread...etc.

Trilby · 05-13-2011, 11:01 AM

here's hoping that today's tropical fucking stew of steam and wet does indeed come down in hunky man-shapes.

Agreed, my sistah in humidity-hatin'

A New York man spent his entire $140,000 life savings advertising his prediction that the world will end May 21, the New York Post reported Friday.

Robert Fitzpatrick, a 60-year-old Staten Island resident, said he spent at least that sum on 1,000 subway-car placards and ads on bus kiosks and subway cars.

They say, "Global Earthquake: The Greatest Ever! Judgment Day May 21, 2011."
In a self-published book, "The Doomsday Code," Fitzpatrick said the Bible offers "proof that cannot be dismissed."

"Judgment Day will surprise people. We will not be ready for it," Fitzpatrick said in an interview with the newspaper. "A giant earthquake will render the earth uninhabitable."

If you want to set an alarm clock, the quake will happen just before 6:00pm local time, he said.

"God's people will be resurrected. It is also the day that God stops saving anyone," he said.

Fitzpatrick hopes that he is one of the chosen ones, but he could not be really certain.

"There's just a little doubt," he said. "Most churches teach that if you just believe, you will be saved. It is not our choice. It is God's choice."

6PM local time? So it will spread from east to west. At least we'll have some warning.

I'm glad the micro brew/ local food tasting I bought tickets for is on the 20th, I'd hate to think I dropped $80 for nothing.

What if we legislated a leap-hour at that point?
